HARVEST PARTY

The fall season is officially here and it’s time to celebrate the harvest and that mean’s a party! This year’s 14th annual Harvest Party will be Wednesday, October 31, 6-8 p.m. downstairs in the Fellowship Hall. There will be face painting, game booths, junk food walk, a baked potato bar ($1 per person) and more! Costumes (no scary ones, please!) for adults and children are encouraged. Invite your friends and neighbors the more the better. WE are looking for donations of bags of candy (lots of them!) and junk food items. These can be brought with you that night. If you haven’t signed up to help with a game for one hour, give us a call WE NEED YOU

ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING

Sun., Nov. 4, 6 p.m..(Join us for a spaghetti dinner at 5 p.m.--$1 per person.) If you consider this your church home you are asked to attend this meeting concerning the "business" of your church (approval of 2002 budget & ratification of key church leadership positions). Voting requirements are posted. Even if you are not yet a voting member of our congregation, we encourage everyone to attend this meeting.

MUSICAL CONCERT SLATED

Juanita Anstine, of Coeur d’Alene, ID, will present a musical concert on Sunday, Nov. 11 at 6 p.m. in the sanctuary. Juanita has performed all over the northwest, in Canada and Hawaii and her sound has been compared to that of the late Patsy Cline. She has produced 4 cassettes and is working on her 5th which will also be released as a CD. Everyone is invited to come at 5 p.m. for soup and sandwiches downstairs before the concert-$1 per person. Bring a friend or neighbor to come and enjoy an evening of music.

SOUP LUNCHEON & HOLIDAY CRAFT BAZAAR

This very popular luncheon and bazaar will be Friday & Saturday, November 2 & 3. Our "country store" bazaar (no individual vendor tables) has been enlarged into a second room to accommodate many more decorations and gift items from local crafters and artisans. Shoppers will find a great selection of fall, Thanksgiving and Christmas gift giving. Many one of a kind gifts make this bazaar very popular in our community. The bazaar is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. The yummy luncheon (all-you-can-eat from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days) will feature homemade soups, breads, rolls, desserts and a beverage for only $4.50 for 13 years through adult; $2.50 for 6 years to 12 years; $1 for 5 years and under. A bake sale will be held both days in the entryway as well as a chair caning demonstration by Becky Dunlap. We encourage everyone to come shop and eat lunch. More help is needed, though. We look to members of the congregation to help with publicity by word-of-mouth and posting a flyer at workplaces. Contact the church office (276-1894) for flyers. We also need helpers with serving the luncheon as well as soup makers, bread, dessert & bake sale bakers and a cash-out clerk for the bazaar. Any bake sale items can be dropped off at the church Thursday or Friday. Proceeds from this fund raiser will go to help with registration fees and expenses incurred by volunteer adult counselors who are necessary for our middle and high school youth to be able to attend youth activities, retreats, camps, etc. Joseph and our youth as well as bazaar chair Teri Brickey would like to thank everyone in advance for their help and preparations in ensuring this event is as successful as possible. If you have ANY questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the office.
